The Haut-St-François Residence: Murphy Bed and Retractable Desk

Located in the Laval area, this residence embraces an interior design approach that is both functional and thoughtful. Each design choice was driven by the goal of optimizing space and meeting everyday needs, without compromising the space’s aesthetics or identity.

To bring this vision to life, the Limuro team created custom furniture that integrates a Murphy bed, a retractable desk, and integrated storage units. The result is an intelligent, sustainable layout perfectly suited for a versatile living space, where comfort and efficiency coexist daily.

Designed and built in Quebec by Limuro, this project combines aesthetic minimalism, spatial ingenuity, and attention to detail. Its goal: to deliver a multifunctional space that transforms from an ergonomic office to a guest room, without sacrificing style or comfort.

At the heart of this space is a Murphy bed, recessed into a custom wall. The structure, made of melamine panels, features two tones. The Murmure panels, in a Nobella finish, form the outer shell—sides, top, base, and back—offering a texture reminiscent of light wood. For contrast, the Murphy bed doors and storage unit doors are finished in Supermatt White, a soft, velvety matte shade.

This interplay of materials, both tactile and visual, sets the tone for a space that is adaptable, welcoming, and calm. The exposed sides of the unfolded bed module feature the same Murmure finish, ensuring continuity throughout the wall design. Delicate metal handles in a brushed brass finish add a warm, refined touch to the front of the custom furniture.

The Murphy bed opens smoothly. Thanks to its ingenious Murphy mechanism, designed and manufactured in Canada, this device easily unfolds an 11-inch-thick queen-size mattress. The integrated springs  ensure effortless, safe handling every time.

Every element reflects thoughtful design and precision execution.  The layout includes storage cabinets, open alcoves, and perfectly sized shelves, all installed to the nearest millimeter. This type of furniture isn’t a prefabricated set: it’s designed for a specific location, function, and architecture.  It’s also made from sustainable materials by a Quebec company that has been specializing in custom furniture for nearly two decades.

This project stands out for its ingenious retractable desk. When not in use, it tilts and slides vertically, freeing up valuable floor space. The custom L-shaped unit, supported by custom-sized pedestals, allows for truly optimal daily use.  Finished in white to match its surroundings, the desk includes integrated drawers, perfect for storing paperwork, office supplies, or personal items.

At a time when home spaces serve multiple purposes, this project offers a smart and flexible design solution. A daytime office, a bedroom, and a continuous storage space.  Rather than impose itself, the space adapts to you. It’s a simpler, more intentional way of living, one that doesn’t compromise on form or function.

A project by Limuro that perfectly illustrates the power of custom design to meet today’s evolving needs. Book a consultation and bring intelligent, multifunctional design into your home.
